Michelin Pilot XGTH4I was advised the H4 would last longer and provide a better ride than the V4.The Pilot XGTH4 proved better in every aspect to the Goodyear GT+4 I had been using.The Pilot is very quiet compared to the GT+4.The MXV4 Energy Plus has a reputation for being load on the highway.The Pilot XGT is the only all season tread by Michelin.
